The two weeks after returning from my 4 month long trip was pretty relaxing. It was fun to see family and friends again after such a lengthy absence. The climate (hot and humid) was not so fun HAHA. It was getting boring in Singapore (alot of my friends were tied up with university stuff or... Continue Reading →
One week after i landed from my 4 months abroad, i was once again on another holiday, with my family, to Penang! I was pretty excited as it was going to involve my grandparents as well as my mother's siblings and they're children (aka my cousin brothers and sisters). I have not seen them in...

It was really good to see my family again after quite some time. Pretty low-key couple of days since coming back. Took about 3 days for me to recover from the Jet-Lag but i'm still struggling with the heat and humidity. Well, i have been complaining about the weather for most of my life so... Continue Reading →
The past 4 months has been something out of a fairytale to me. If you had told me a year ago that i would be doing this, i would have laughed. The trip has been amazing, humbling, eye-opening and i can go on and on. I am going to miss everything about the past few... Continue Reading →
On my last day in Los Angeles i basically explored downtown LA, which was an hour from the hostel. The day started at La Brea Tar Pits which was this collection of large Tar Pits that allowed for the discovery of numerous preserved fossils. I've never seen an actual tar pit before so that was...

On Sunday i had an unique opportunity to join in a human rights march called #ResistMarch. It was done on L.A. pride weekend so while it was probably originally organised to highlight the atrocious discrimination that the LGBTQ community face, it became a march to highlight all forms of oppression that any community is facing....

On my third day in LA, i had changed hostels and was off to see the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign. It took me 2 buses before i reached the shuttle that went up to the Observatory. All in all the travel there took a good 2 hours. The observatory itself was really beautiful... Continue Reading →
So for some reason the 1 day ticket cost 110(USD) and the 2 day ticket cost 125(USD) so for just 15 dollars more i got an additional day at US Hollywood! Universal Studios Hollywood was really something else. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was basically every HP fan's dream. It had a Hogsmeade street... Continue Reading →
After a short flight i was in Los Angeles!! The aiport (LAX) was huge but luckily there were clear instructions and i managed to find my Uber painlessly. It took more than an hour to reach the hostel! The distance from the airport was crazy and i was so glad i did not take public... Continue Reading →
Sophie. She is my sister's (Anandani) dog . We had a frosty first meeting where she seemed scared by my entrance into the house but after 5 minutes, she was literally staring at me with her snout a hair's breadth away from my face so it's safe to say we became good friends. I've never had... Continue Reading →
